Sadly, for some unknown reason, he committed suicide in 1991. He jumped from the eighth floor of a parking structure in Los Angeles.


thats horrible :(

Indeed.

The man's work was genius. Imagine what else he could have done in the 18 years since his death. Nothing short of a tragedy.

I know Jeep Swenson is gone as well from Batman and Robin.

No way - that sucks.  I used to have a 2page spread from a newpaper. It was an interview with him when B&R came out - wish I could find it.

Yeah I know.

Good lord.  How did we over look Stan Winston in this thread?!

RIP Stan.

All in all - great post guys. 

Damn right that those who have passed on should have been remembered.

Let's also not forget Shirley Walker.  She too was involved with Batman 1989.  It was her that helped Danny with additional orchestrations and it was her who conducted for London's 110 member symphony orchestra. 

she did the cartoon's music too didn't she?
